My GS300 started cutting out during drive (auto transmission) all went dead the engine idled no power and the VSC light came on? what could this be? its happened about 4 times intermittently over a 12 month period? cheers AL

Hi Ive had this problem with my 1998 GS 300 SE - I looked on the worlwide web under Lexus owners and the American brethren came up with the reason - this 1998 version had a recall owing to a faul on the Yawl Sensor rating - which send the ca into limbo - the VSC kicks in and all power is lost Ive written to Toyota UK and awaiting a reply - ist a bit scary as it can happen any time and I'm really worried about safety - if it should occur on the outside lane of a motorway - it could be nasty my particular car has no record of being recalled for rectification - so i recon Toyota are responsible I will let you know what the out come is has anyone else had any experience of this?
